    I'm sure Joel remembers him well.
    There was that famous picture of Y.A. Title after one of those games.

    I remember even as a kid the Giant's fans seranading Allie...Goodbye Allie or something like that.

    I certainly remember him. Prior to 1960 ( when the Patriots entered the league) the team of choice, and shown every Sunday on local TV was The New York Football Giants. He coached Frank Gifford, YA Tittle, Charley Conerly, Roosevelt Grier, Roosevelt Brown, Sam Huff etc etc. RIP

    I remember him and those Giants teams when I was a boy in NYC. That picture of Tittle was after the loss to the Bears I believe.
